A huge new update has landed, bringing some of the biggest changes to Chaos Agents yet.
Team up with other Brokers, coordinate your drops, share objectives, and battle opposing teams. Teammates won’t attack one another but coordination will be needed to ensure your team doesn’t overextend itself.
This is a very early version of Team play - we have lots of improvements to come. In this mode, you’ll join the match as normal, and when your Agent beams down they’ll be sorted into a team.
Once the match starts, you’ll see a new version of the leaderboard where your team is aggregated together. Winning Brawlmaster isn’t an individual task anymore, it’s a shared team responsibility. Every Shard or KO helps your team. Surviving is now also focused on the team. Even if a single member of your team is the last survivor the team as a whole wins!
Quick Matches, Trials, and Practice Matches are bigger than ever. Every match is now default 12 player matches. Bigger matches with more opportunities for exciting finishes.
Additionally, we’ve implemented a large set of behavioral and pathing changes:
You can now view skill maps in the lobby, allowing you to scout out your opponents
Xandrians should be significantly less dogged in their pursuit of battle
Agents no longer momentarily freeze in place after firing attacks or losing a race to collect a Shard - they’ll instead immediately continue their strategy
Agents now weight enemy strategies when making flee decisions and will prioritize escaping from enemies on attack
Agents should now more naturally slide along walls instead of being pinned or stuck at map edges
Agents on Survive with no enemies in vision will attempt to collect Shards instead of standing still - if they see an enemy, they will resume fleeing
And More....
From now on, when an Agent wins a ticket or medal in a Trial, that ticket and medal will be assigned to the Agent. Agent contract value will also increase based on the set of tickets the Agent holds. We’re excited to see how this as part of this release, we’ve traced match history back throughout and credited all Agents with the appropriate set of medals and tickets. As part of this process, all Brokers will receive a BC payout for the value of their remaining tickets. Brokers will still be able to win medals.
Critical Damage has been reduced from 2.0x to 1.5x, alongside major On-KO and Round-Start skill adjustments.
Plus new LIVE Trial leaderboard updates, wrapped Skill Maps, Steam Login, improved Agent AI, and a whole lot of fixes.
